The Dumbing Down Of America- A Propagandists Dream
December 28, 2008The dumber you are, the more easier it is to control you.
By Chris Hedges
November 16, 2008 “Truthdig” — – We live in two Americas. One
America, now the minority, functions in a print-based, literate
world. It can cope with complexity and has the intellectual tools
to separate illusion from truth. The other America, which
constitutes the majority, exists in a non-reality-based belief
system. This America, dependent on skillfully manipulated
images for information, has severed itself from the literate,
print-based culture. It cannot differentiate between lies and
truth. It is informed by simplistic, childish narratives and
clichés. It is thrown into confusion by ambiguity, nuance
and self-reflection. This divide, more than race, class or
gender, more than rural or urban, believer or nonbeliever,
red state or blue state, has split the country into radically
distinct, unbridgeable and antagonistic entities.
There are over 42 million American adults, 20 percent of whom
hold high school diplomas, who cannot read, as well as the 50
million who read at a fourth- or fifth-grade level. Nearly a third
of the nation’s population is illiterate or barely literate. And
their numbers are growing by an estimated 2 million a year. But
even those who are supposedly literate retreat in huge numbers
into this image-based existence. A third of high school
graduates, along with 42 percent of college graduates, never
read a book after they finish school. Eighty percent of the
families in the United States last year did not buy a book.
The illiterate rarely vote, and when they do vote they do so
without the ability to make decisions based on textual
information. American political campaigns, which have learned
to speak in the comforting epistemology of images, eschew real
ideas and policy for cheap slogans and reassuring personal
narratives. Political propaganda now masquerades as
ideology. Political campaigns have become an experience. They
do not require cognitive or self-critical skills. They are designed
to ignite pseudo-religious feelings of euphoria, empowerment
and collective salvation. Campaigns that succeed are carefully
constructed psychological instruments that manipulate fickle
public moods, emotions and impulses, many of which are
subliminal. They create a public ecstasy that annuls individuality
and fosters a state of mindlessness. They thrust us into an
eternal present. They cater to a nation that now lives in a state
of permanent amnesia. It is style and story, not content or history
or reality, which inform our politics and our lives. We prefer
happy illusions. And it works because so much of the
American electorate, including those who should know
better, blindly cast ballots for slogans, smiles, the cheerful family
tableaux, narratives and the perceived sincerity and the
attractiveness of candidates. We confuse how we feel
with knowledge.

The Money Masters Part 1 of 22
December 18, 2008
“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to
our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised
up a monied aristocracy that has set the government at
defiance. The issuing power (of money) should be taken
away from the banks and restored to the people to whom
it properly belongs.” – Thomas Jefferson
How the Central Bankers came to own nations –
Big Brother America
December 16, 2008
Michael Ellner sums up the world of today brilliantly:
” Just look at us. Everything is backwards; everything
is upside down. Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy
justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments
destroy freedom, the major media destroy information
and religions destroy sprituality. ”
All that is happening in the world today is by design. The
ruling elite belive in the concept of “order out of chaos”. They
are purposely making sure that everything is upside down
and chaotic.
Why do you think public schools dumb down children ? To
create a generation that lacks critical thinking skills, a
generation that doesn’t question authority, a generation
that accepts everything it is told without hesitation or
examining the facts themselves. They are creating a
generation that will learn to love Big Brother and his
police state slavery. A generation that blindly obeys.
Look at our universities in this country. Rather than focusing
on cultivating great minds they destroy them ! No longer is
it encouraged to think outside the box. No longer do they
care about producing scientists, engineers, or great
thinkers. No, and they do not want any thought for that
matter. A university is in reality the final step in the
government indoctrination centers. All who’ve had the
displeasure of attending one of these is forced to sit
and endure class after class of forced indoctrination. Any
free thought opposed to the state or it’s mandated “new
think” will quickly get a student labeled – racist,xenophobic,
nativist, fascist, sexist, anti-semitic,zealot,extremist,
etc. Sound like a place that values and encourages free
thought ? Sure you are free to think, but only what they
tell you to think, and within their speech codes. And to
think people are actully paying to be indoctrinated and
mentally abused in these institutions.
Look at this government in America. Who really did more
to take away our freedom, Muslim terrorists or the federal
government. Did Osama demand your wife get groped before
boarding a plane ? Did Al- Qaeda demand wire taps and no
fly lists for Americans who dare speakout ? Is Hamas behind
the police becoming militirized and assaulting the American
people ? No, the U.S. government is ! Besides whatever
became of America’s bogeyman Osama Bin Laden ? Why
was he never relentlessely persued if he was such a threat
to the American people ? More smoke and mirrors, Osama
is another creation of the global elite. A problem that will
give them a reason to implement their solution. More power
for them through laws and surveilence. And less freedom
for you. Order through chaos and for the people safety
in slavery ! The guarentee you will be safe if only you
sacrifice the concept they despise- Freedom (what little
you have in reality). Many are all too happy to accept
this arrangment. You are free, you are free to do as
they tell you !
The bogeyman strikes ! Osama is in reality Americas Emmanuel Goldstein –
Look at the American economy as it crashes around us. We
can no longer feed and clothe our own people, we can no
longer employ our people. Yet we can import millions
of immigrants a year ??? !!! Rationally this is the most
Asinine of thinking. We cannot even take care of veterans,
we have children living in poverty, Around 50 million
Americans without health insurance. But we can import
1.6 immigrants a year and millions who come in
illegally . The government has a war on poverty but it
imports poverty. It drags down the living standards
of the American people. Again you lose and the global
elites win ! Corporate America gets cheap slave labor and
government formulates tribal warfare to distract the masses.
A homogeneous society is a united society. They share
culture, language and customs. A heterogeneous society
is a fractured society. Each ethnic group battles the other
ethnic groups for a bigger piece of the pie. All the while they
are too distracted to see that they are all exploited. By the
ones truly in power- The Global Elite. Multiculturalism and
Diversity are just PSYOPS designed to antagonize and
encourage ethnic rivalry.Whites are always cast as
the evil racists and non-Whites the eternal
victims. This antagonistic propaganda serves a
purpose.Those in power love to propagandize racism. It
encourages ethnic warfare so it must always be encouraged.
http://rebirthofreason.com/Articles/Younkins/Multiculturalism_A_Tool_of_Collectivism.shtml
But to mute any criticisms of this they threaten anyone (most
always Whites 100% of the time) with the new label for
Heretic – Racist. You are not to oppose the NWO’s “Good
Think”! They expect Whites to sit there and shut up while their
nation and heritage slips away. They promise minorities
“equal opportunity” and “freedom” from racism. In reality
the global elite exploit them and plan on using them as
their future underclass. Right now they just use them as
a fifth column against traditional America. Once America
collapses ,the elites will have no use of them.
Look at the “Health Care” system. It is full of care but not
for you, your money. And if you do have insurance they
love to dope you up with experimental drugs that are found
to later be worse than the disease. It is a system that believes
in treatment rather than a cure. Treatment they beleive is
better because it brings repeat business.
Look at the justice system, and the oxymoron it is. We
now have private prisons that gain money by the more
people that get locked up. What kind of objective justice
is that ? When you have states short on revenue and
corporate investors looking as usual to make a filthy
dollar. Just lock anyone up, who cares we need $$$. Not
really objective justice is it ? We have the war on drugs that
started the police on their war with the American people. We
have lost so many rights in the name of the justice system it
is an oxymoronic joke. But do not worry, we have the finest
system in the world. If you have money and connections
that is. Odds are you’ll never see a day in jail, if you are poor
or middle class and without connections- you’re Fucked !
Look at the media. No longer is it truly reporting what
transpires. It has become a mouthpiece for the state. The
media spins, it lies, it sensationalizes. No longer does it
report fairly and accurately, it has an agenda. And that
agenda is what it’s owners dictate. Big bankers, Zionists,
and the Global Elite who own media mute any dissent.

If any dissent is allowed at all, they will slander them without
mercy. They will ruin their livilyhood, break marriages,
destroy reputations, and ruin freindships. This smear
campaign against any who dare question the NWO Elite
mandated dogmas serves a purpose. It shows all “sheep”
what happens when you step out of line. Most all usually
shut up and fall back in.
Look at American society. The me first society,the society
that dictates ” he who dies with the most toys wins”. Americans
have been conditioned to worship the material and neglect
all that is spiritual and philisophical. And some wonder why
our society is lost and confused. We have “spiritual” leaders
who do not lead and demand faith in the wrong things ( state
mandated political correctness for example).
The Soviet Origins Of Political Correctness:
We have abandoned spiritual faith while we worship pop
culture and any other fad cause celeb of the moment. Any
wonder why the me first attitude proliferates ? Any wonder
why Americans are so lost ?
America is a land in chaos and a land full of distraction.
Order through chaos and control through confusion.
While the global NWO elites run wild and laugh in
everyones faces.
The Elite View People As Nothing But Livestock
December 15, 2008We do not live in enlightened times. For every social cause the Elites
tell us we should care about has an ulterior motive. The reality behind
every social and political cause is distraction for you and more control
for them. The Elites want to keep you busy worrying about everything
but the way you are being ruled over. That is why they keep you as
busy as they can. Be it working nonstop to get ahead only to fall
further behind while enriching them, instilling in the populace a
need to get involved in the latest cause celeb, or inspiring nonstop
fear propaganda. The Elite masters never want you to discover the
truth. They seek to keep you busy and distracted, they seek to
keep you ignorant and obedient sheep. Ever wonder why they
call workers a human resource ? To them you are cattle !
